<center><i>Been a long time since I moved countries... for any reason.
Odd, seeing as most Vendallions don't even leave Vendal. But here I am, playing guard to a completely different country.
What's even more peculiar is that I was soon to do the same thing again...
Not that I cared. People tell me I'm callous and have no passion...
But what do I know about passion?</i></center>
'M'lady!' the Royal Guard bellowed, "Introducing Sir Revex Kahn, Runic Knight of Albrecht. He claims to be on an errand for the king of Albrecht!
"Gee, I didn't think they'd invented fog-horns yet..." Revex jested with a small hint of sarcasim. He didn't look much a knight. He had disturbingly feminne features, apart from his short white hair that was longer down one side, covering his left eye. He was covered in ear rings and necklaces and rings, some of which were covered by his long full-body, blue robe. There was also a slightly conspicuous sword across his back. Apprently it is quite difficult to take a weapon from a Runic Knight.
Before him, as requested, sat an assembly of the best Ocenia had to offer. In the center, Princess Serenity, adept magic user and natural leader. To her immediate right, the expert Druid Elsyian and next to her the nimble and witty dragon Draches. To her right stood Exanderous, the strong and noble Guardian of the Universe and leaning against the wall next to him, partially covered by shadow, was the skillfull meta-human, Christian Tourniquet.
"And what can we do for you, Sir Kahn?" The princess enquired, "We're not used to correspondence from Albrecht."
There was a short silence.
"Recently, we have been sending our most elite Runic Knights to investigate reports of strange sighting and dissapearences. Including many of the Runic Knights themselves... My king is determined to get to the bottom of this, and has long been a fan of the exploits of these great Oceanian adventurers..." he explained.
Christian schoffed from the corner.
"So he wants us to clean up your mess?" He said, pushing himself off of the wall and going to exit the room. "Fine. I'll go get ready to leave..." the Vendallion said as he left the throne room.
Serenity held back a small scowl.
"I'm sorry, you'll have to excuse Christian, he's a little... anti-social, sometimes... she tried to explain before Revex let out a small chuckle.
"It's no matter. My only concern right now is whether you'll help us or not..."
Exanderous stepped forward.
"I say we help these people! Though I will honor any decision you make, Princess..." he said.
Murmurs of agreement rose from the others... Serenity smiled.
"Okay, okay! We'll set off as soon as possible, Oceania shares a boarder with Albrecht, it won't take long to arrive... we should take small amounts of provisions anyway..." She said, just as Christian wandered back into the hall in his black body suit, a small sack and twindling a small spud-peeler in this fingers before pocketing it in a pouch on his belt.
He noticed everyone looking at him.
"...I brought potatoes..." He said weakly, glancing about the room.
Revex chuckled again.
"I have a carriage waiting to take us back, unless you guys have a quicker mode of transport?"
